MACHINE-BRAKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360.080, dated March 29, 1887.

Application filed December G, 1886. Serial No. 220,530. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, JACOB BARGER and JOHN SAMUEL HILTON, citizens of the United States, residing, respectively, at Laceyville and Deersville, in the county of Harrison and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machine-Brakes; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to motors, and is principally designed for running light machinery, such as churns, 8:0.

The object of the invention is to devise a compact arrangement of the parts, whereby a simple and economical device is produced, combining therewith efficiency and durability in use.

The improvement consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed, and more fully shown in the annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a motor provided with our improvements. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the brake-lever and roller.

The frame of the motor comprises the four corner posts, A, the upperand lower side rails,

A A", and the upper and lower end rails, A A. The parallel bars B are arranged between the end bars A at a point midway between the side rails A, and a short cross-bar, B, is arranged between one of them and the side rail A, as shown. The Windlass-arbor O is journaled in brackets between one of the bars B and the side rails A, and has its outer end extended beyond said side rails and provided with a gear-wheel, c, keyed thereto.

The drum or Windlass D, keyed to the shaft, is connected by a ratchet and pawl in the usual manner with a gear-wheel, D, loosely mounted upon said shaft and meshing with a pinion, 6, upon a shaft, 6, mounted in bearings secured to the short cross-bar B and the bar B. The

power-transmitting shaft F, mounted in suitable bearings to the right of the parallel bars,

has a pinion,f, on ilsinner end, which meshes with a gear-wheel, E, keyed upon the shaft 0'. The outer end is provided with a crank, f, which is connected by the linkf with the horizontally-arranged lever G.

The lever G extends longitudinally with the frame, and is pivoted to one of the corner posts, and held close against the other by the keeper 9. The rear end is notched on its upper side and receivesaweight, g, which maybe adjusted nearer to or farther from the pivot or fulcrum, to counterbalance the weight of the connections attached to the front end, which end is adapted to communicate motion to the desired machine by means of a suitable rod. as g.

The brake-lever H, pivoted to the side of one of the bars B, has an offset, 71/, formed The motor may be run by either spring or weight power, as desired, the latter being preferred, in which case the rope or chain will be attached at one end to the Windlass and passed over a pulley or sheave on the tower or derrick J, and be provided with a suitable weight, K, at its other end.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patcut, is

The brake-lever H, having the offset h and the return-arm h", andhaving its end extended beyond the return-arm, the roller I, mounted
